We were going out for breakfast yesterday but about a block from home slid thru a stop sign. Black ice! Thank goodness there were no other cars. Needless to say we decided to eat at home!

This beautiful image is Rubbernecker's From the Heart Long Stemmed Rose! It was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black then colored using Copic Markers. For the flower I started with R00 colored over that (except the edges) using R20 then blended again with R00! Added R24 to the center and blended again using R00! The leaves were colored using G40, G82 and G85. The embossed hearts were done using a Sizzix embossing folder! I used Spellbinders scorpal to score the lines on the right. The image was framed using Spellbinders Nestabillities!

It is a privilege and an honor for me to be on Our Daily Bread's New Challenge Design Team!
I was thrilled when Chris (Twinkles Glow with Stamps) asked me to join ODBD Challenge Team! Thanks, Kelley and Chris, for this privilege!

The day has finally arrived for the reveal of the new Challenge Team at Our Daily Bread Designs!!! On February 7 we will begin our first challenge as a team. These challenges are weekly and there is lots of fun planned, so be sure to stop back by Our Daily Bread Blog

Today the new team has a lot of fun planned for you with a blog hop and scavenger hunt!!! You will have the opportunity to meet the new challenge team, view their creations and hunt for the items for the scavenger hunt. It's a game with a chance to win a Light Of the World Stamp set. Check out the details on Our Daily Breads Blog!

Since the name of our Challenge will be called "Shining the Light" named after the very first stamp set Kelley came out with, "Light of the World". The team has created cards or projects based on that theme!!!

Here is the list of the challenge team members who will be participating in the Blog Hop and where the items for the scavenger hunt will be found.

Happy Saturday everone!

This is my first official upload as a design team member for Rubbernecker. Woot!!!!!

Rubbernecker's*Ivy Heart* was stamped twice and colored using copics. Some of the leaves were cut out and popped up! The background was scored every 1/2" using the Scorepal. I used the Grid Tech found HERE! The Spellbinder diecut was used to cut out the image and then popped up!

All total we had about 5" of snow. I think it is over for awhile! Sure hope so.

These are some of our squirrelly friends stopping by to munch some nuts and bread! They expect their little treats everday. They sit in the tree and wait. I think if I forgot they would start banging on the door. (tee-hee)

Happy New Year!

Hope all is well with everyone! We had our coldest day so far this winter, 4 degrees! We usually go to the Saturday evening church service, so we were lucky and didn't have to go out today! We have not had the snow and ice some of you have had, so I really can't complain!

This is for todays Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoast! Ann (ardodd) was the featured stamper today!

I would like to introduce you to Henry! You can find Henry at Rubbernecker!
Henry was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and colored using copics. YR01, 04, 09, and 14 - R20, 24, and 27 - G82, 85, and 99 - E25 and 49 - YR00 and YR000.

The background panel was embossed using the Cuttlebug and Sizzix embossing folder! The smaller background panel was stamped using Rubbernecker's Chicken Wire background. This card measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2.
